Jean-Michel Badiane (born 9 May 1983 in Paris) is a French soccer defender of Senegalese origin, currently playing for CS Sedan Ardennes in Ligue 1.

A Paris Saint-Germain player until the summer of 2006, Badiane was the third choice centre back for the Parisian side, and made his professional début on 21 August 2004 in a match against Nantes. He signed his first professional contract with the club in 2004, having been with PSG since the age of 10 in the youth teams.

Badiane has represented France at under-15, under-17 and has been in the under-21 squad.

Badiane began trials for English Coca-Cola Championship side Stoke City on 28.8.07 to seemingly replace the outgoing captain Danny Higginbotham - nothing has been agreed yet.
